Answer» SOLUTION :Total pressure `= 1 atm` `P_(N2)=((80)/(100)) xx` Total pressure `= (80)/(100) xx 1 atm = 0.8 atm` ` P _(O2)= ((20)/(100)) xx 1 = 0.2 atm` According to Henry.s Law `P_("solute" ) = K _(H) X _("solute in solution") ` `THEREFORE P _(N2) = (K _(H))_("Nitrogen") xx` Mole fraction of Nitrogen in solution `(0.8)/(8.5 xx 10 ^(4)) = x _(N_(2))` `x _(N2)=9.4 xx 10 ^(-6)` Similarly `x _(O2)= (0.2)/( 4.6 xx 10 ^(4)) = 4.3 xx 10 ^(-6)` |
